The short version

What visitors say about Yaamava' Resort & Casino

Yaamava' is the big tribal resort nearest to Los Angeles, and it gets crowded because of that. Reviewers who tried midweek for some elbow room still found the parking lot and floor packed. The casino is enormous, with thousands of machines, many of them new, plus plenty of table games.

Concerts bring in a lot of the traffic, and showgoers describe organized entry and roomy seating. The Pines steakhouse draws the strongest food reviews. Hong Bao Kitchen gets good marks too, though one diner thought it overpriced. Hotel guests like the modern, comfortable rooms, and a couple mention the rates are steep.

Most complaints come back to money: slots that felt tight, free play and comps that players considered thin for what they spent, and mailer offers that staff wouldn't honor.

As the commercials say...Its only about 90 minutes from LA, depending of course what part of LA you live. I would definitely recommend driving up there anytime after 8pm when the rush hour commute has dissipated. I thought going midweek would be great for less people, But uhhh, nope lol that place was packed,…

The hotel rooms were fresh, modern, and very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable, and I got one of the best nights of sleep I’ve had at a casino resort. Customer service throughout the property was excellent.

Parking is another plus. Self-parking is free for everyone, and registered hotel guests receive…

I recently spent a weekend at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino in Highland, and honestly, you don't even need to make the drive to Las Vegas anymore. This place is massive, absolutely stunning, and feels incredibly upscale from the second you pull up to the valet.

Whether you’re looking to gamble, see a show, or just relax,…

The area around Yaamava is a little rough (lots of homeless wandering around), but the grounds themselves are very nice. All of the staff that we interacted with were friendly and knowledgeable and the rooms were nice and clean (although a little on the pricey side). We were there for a concert and the seating was fairly spacious and the show was great.

State of the art gaming and entertainment facility. This place has it all. From every slot machine old and new and all kinds of table games to 5 star entertainment from yesterday and today's artist. You'll enjoy the comps once you join the Yaamava card club and to be real here, one of the better resorts from the…

This casino profiles people — especially when the issue is caused by their own mistakes. Casino managers has zero knowledge and zero interest in actually helping. When you ask for a manager for assistance, instead of resolving the problem, they flag you for future visits even when you are completely right.

Every time I have an issue with the hotel or valet, let a manager know, and take the time fill out a detailed survey, no one from Yaamava ever reaches out to address the problems, so I will not return. I find it ironic that Yaamava

I'm extremely disappointed with how Yaamava Casino handled what should have been a simple mistake.

Their staff kept my driver's license and never gave it back before I left. When I realized it was missing, I called several times hoping they would help fix the situation. Instead, I was told that I needed to drive…

False advertising and terrible customer service. They did not honor the offer they sent me in the mail which included 2 free buffets, instead allowing me to only use one. Everyone claims I need to speak with another department. I have already spoken with the hotel front desk, Club Serrano, Guest Services, VIP…
